It is with a heavy heart that I say my farewells to my brother, Don. He often referred to me as his "Little Sister". I will miss that, as well as visiting him in Charleston. Bill and I have so many happy memories of those visits, going back to the 80's when our Mother had a chance to go with us. Oh, how he loved having her there!!! You worked hard, Don!!!! May you now cast your nets amongst the best of fishermen !

From fishing brothers memories to Captain Don's, you toiled and left a legacy to be proud of. With love and prayers, may you now rest in peace.

One of God’s great gifts is our siblings. We learn so much from each other. For many reasons I loved and respected my brother Don. He charted his own course. Rest In Peace Don.

Some may call him 'Captain Don'. I am proud to call him My Brother. You've worked so hard; now it's time to rest. I will miss you dearly.

To June, you know that my heart and prayers are with you at this time. To Don's children, I got to know your Dad this past year while staying in their home on my visits to Charleston. We sat in "his" den and discussed many topics from accounting to fishing. He spoke proudly of each of you, and I know that he worked hard and long hours to take care of his family. He graciously welcomed me and told me to come anytime. It will not be the same when I go the next time. My prayers to the family. RIP Don

Condolences to everyone of the family and all connected to him.
A true legend indeed in every regard...will miss our talks and his ever encouraging spirit. Affectionately known to many of us as ‘Captain Daddy’, he will never be forgotten. Not sure who I will pop in to chat with when I’m in town now, but when I pass through...I will smile and say you’ve done well, just as you’ve always said to me. Sail on in love and peace.
